This Bluefish444 BLF-K4001 KRONOS K8 [R] features four bidirectional 3G/HD/SD-SDI and four bidirectional HD/SD-SDI connectors plus reference and LTC I/O. Over quad-link SDI, the advanced developer card supports up to DCI/UHD 4K60 resolution video input and output with high dynamic range, high frame rates, and extremely low latency of sub on field or frame. Via a STEM port on the side of the card and optional Bluefish444 EX-1 and EX-2 add-ons, the KRONOS K8 [R] can also be equipped with RS-422 control, AES/EBU and analog audio, and additional LTC I/O.

The KRONOS K8 [R] is an internal full-height, 2/3-length 8-lane PCIe card compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, but it can also be installed in optional Thunderbolt enclosures from Sonnet and other brands for alternate multimedia workflow options, including integration with a second PCIe card, such as a PCIe-based SSD drive or RAID controller. Included with the card is a free download of the Bluefish444 IngeSTore acquisition software and Bluefish444 cross-platform SDK.

Other features of the card include embedded audio support, high-performance bypass relays, 4 x 4 x 33-bit color matrix, 12-bit video signal path, hardware downstream keyers, and full-duplex DMA data transfer.

The KRONOS K8 [R] can be used for broadcast graphics, post-production, live events, and digital intermediate, mobile production, QC, video over IP, and streaming workflows, among many others.
